Interdiscplinary Studies
Would you like to explore the arts, humanities, and sciences from multiple perspectives?
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) is designed for students who want a broad and diverse educational experience and prefer not to be confined to the requirements of a single discipline.
Flexible and Challenging
The Interdisciplinary Studies major has five tracks:
Humanities
International Studies
Local and Social Identities
Theory, Intellect and Methods
Comprehensive
You should consult the IDS program coordinator and select the Track which most closely aligns with your interests. An IDS degree is appropriate for most careers and occupations with the exception of certain medical, scientific, or K-12 educational fields.
Interdisciplinary Approach
Students in the major take several upper-level courses IDS 302 - IDS 320: Peace and Diplomacy, Monsters and Demons, Chivalry, War and Society, The Baroque Period, Good – Evil – and the Future, Vikings, Local History and Culture, Wealth and Poverty, Tibet, History and Legend. Faculty approach a specific topic or time period from three or more disciplinary perspectives. The professors are full-time English, History, and Religion faculty who designed these unique courses.
Options: Thesis, Internship, Courses
The program includes an optional senior thesis or internship to allow you to gain practical work experience. Our students have worked as interns in museums, publishing houses, accounting firms, and radio stations. If you plan to pursue graduate study or law school, you may choose to take additional IDS courses in lieu of an internship or a thesis.
If you are majoring in another other discipline, you may also take a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies. This minor was designed to be flexible and offer students maximum choice in coursework.
